Ahhh! A new week. You know what that means…A NEW SHORT FILM! Honestly, I keep think how awkward it is that only about 8 people are reading these posts, but I’m going to keep talking like a large audience is reading (don’t judge me please)
Today, I realized that reviewing these short films has brought me much joy, and I enjoy watching them very much. Now, I understand you might be wondering about the title. Well…it’s honestly the funniest thing I’ve had as a title. If you know, us writers love our coffee. It’s crazy, but the addiction we all have is crazy, and it’s only been some weeks since we started school. Before coming to MSA, I only drunk coffee when my mom offered to make it, which wasn’t often. Now, I have a cup of coffee probably once a day, twice if I really need a kick to get me through the day. I have my coffee routine down now as well. I love the breakfast blend with 6 sugars. If I don’t have coffee, I have to drink hot chocolate. Now that its getting colder in Brookhaven (today it was 60 degrees!), I want to start having hot chocolate more. It will really get me into the mood of the changing seasons. Speaking of seasons, it is officially fall! My birthday is in the fall (October 23), and it happens to be my favorite season after summer. The clothes you get to wear, the food, the aesthetic! Fall/autumn (whichever you prefer) is the coziest season, I love it! What’s your favorite season? Leave them in the comments!
Now, I will actually talk about the short film, but first let me tell you why I chose this film and the title. So, in relation to the title, this film is about a caffeine addiction. You might’ve guessed it, but did you guess that its a dog and a cat that have the addiction? No? Well yes! Like the dog and cat duo in this film, the literary students also have a sort of caffeine addiction and I just thought it would be so cute to have this title be for this particular film.
This film is pure humor! First of all, a cat and dog drinking coffee is hilarious in its own way. What made it even funnier was the cat loosing its wits (or shall I say kits LOL…not funny?…well…ok moving on). I won’t explain it in detail, but if you love cute animal animations, this one is for you. Me, a cat enthusiast, absolutely loved this film!
The actual film was very well done. It reminded me of the Secret Life of Pets movie a lot. The whole concept was absolutely amazing. This film is appropriate for all ages, and it was executed really well.
-The animation was very realistic, as realistic as animation can be, and I give it 8.5/10. It could’ve been a little better, but it was still very good.
-The concept execution was really good. Animals don’t talk, and for the creators to still have a good plotline to it was amazing! 10/10!
-The music selection was good. I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it like I usually would, but it was still really good. 9/10. I would’ve liked some music that would’ve appealed to me better if that makes sense. It just didn’t pop to me.
The overall film was very good, and I will definitely watch it again. To my fellow literary students, I hope you get something from watch the affects of a caffeine addiction and maybe we can all cut back on coffee a little bit (just a little though!) Leave comments on how you felt about the film below! Has it helped you and your caffeine addiction?
mo, you crack me UP. I giggled the whole time I was reading this. (I especially loved the wits/kits joke. It made me laugh, lol). I also really love this because I am also a cat enthusiast and this seems like the cutest thing ever!
Reading this was absolutely hilarious, so thank you so much, Morgan. I have not watched the short film, but I like cats and coffee, so maybe I should watch it sometimes. Personally, I do not believe that I am one-hundred percent addicted to caffeine (maybe a little, however), but, you know, part of being a writer is drinking coffee 24-7. Fulfilling stereotypes is super important as a writer. That is how inspiration starts, after all. Although I am being mildly sarcastic, coffee does spark creativity somewhat, I guess.
I laughed quite a bit while reading/watching this. that’s all I have to say.
but seriously, I love fall too and I’m glad you somehow found a way to include your appreciation for it in your blog post. I don’t drink coffee for many reasons, one being afraid of getting addicted. Stg I’d be just like that cat. It wouldn’t be good for anyone haha. I really liked this post:) thanks for sharing!!
I lovveee reading your short film reviews! You seem so excited to write about each one you review and that brings me joy.
OMG, MORGAN!! I seriously LOVED this! It was so ironic that that cat’s name was MOE! So cute and fun.
